08/2025: SAF Design in Depth — New Futures for Empty Offices: Mike Jobes
7-23-2024 | Events
The best way to predict our future is to understand our present reality. Architecture is subject to tension between the formal sphere of theory and the informal daily experience of life. Current architectural methods to analyze and design structures are still based on traditional assumptions that are often incapable of decoding urban complexities. By embracing an approach that involves building with the people, by the people, and for the people, we can unlock new avenues toward constructing more sustainable buildings.
Informal Settlements reveal the wisdom gained from grassroots initiatives and community-driven spaces where innovative solutions arise organically. Learning from these spaces can inspire transformative design methodologies, fostering a better future that balances the natural environment with the needs of its inhabitants. Tobias Jimenez, an architectural designer at the Miller Hull Partnership, will explore these themes, drawing on his deep personal connection and professional expertise in designing structures for informal communities in Latin America.
